Read the excerpt from Act 4, Scene 2 of The Tragedy of Macbeth. Lady Macduff is discussing her husband, who has fled the kingdom and left her and their children alone and unprotected.
Lady Macduff. Wisdom! to leave his wife, to leave his ,
His mansion and his titles in a place
From whence himself does fly? He loves us not;
He wants the natural touch: for the poor wren,
The most diminutive of birds, will fight,
Her young ones in her nest, against the owl.
All is the fear and nothing is the love;
As little is the wisdom, where the flight
So runs against all reason.
How does the hyperbole "All is the fear and nothing is the love” add to the disapproving mood of the excerpt?
A. It compares Macduff to a weak bird.
B. It villainizes Macduff and his actions.
C. It reveals Macduff’s true intentions.
D. It questions Macduff’s intelligence.
